Bad behavior on both sides IMO and not the guy I'd want to represent me as a conservative. The cashier was a raging baby drinking leftist koolaid and the patron was a mocker/bully digging and digging at him. Even when the cashier was about to ring him up the guy was talking to him like he was a total chump. Even if he is, that is not how you treat people! Take the high road!
I just saw two people rolling around in the mud, in different ways. The guy affirmed the cashier's belief that Trump supporters are total buttholes!
No, I'd preferred he asserted his desires without antagonizing the cashier, proving to the cashier that he is wrong about Trump supporters, because that is the better and more intelligent thing to do. If I was an open-minded liberal and that was my only exposure to a Trump supporter I'd think "Wow, they really are a hateful bunch after all."
I'm not defending the cashier. He was unhinged. I just don't celebrate people treating other people like trash, which is a different sort of weakness - pride. The guy in the video came off as a pompous jerk and he went out of his way to antagonize the cashier the entire time to get a rise out of him, so of course it escalated. Shocker when the guy broke so easily. Tearing down someone that is weaker than you is not exactly the strong, self-controlled, cool-headed attitude I associate with actual masculinity.
So, since we all value diversity of thought so much here I don't mind challenging folks who might think that think a macho attitude is the measure of manhood. I don't think celebrating this helps anyone any more than liberals celebrating how they can manage to hurt Trump supporters.
If I had to boil it down to a core concept, it'd be this: Do you want to redpill or just make people red in the face? Do you want to win people over or "win" the argument? The latter is losing, not winning. The guy in the video represents a huge loss for the cause of righting misperceptions about conservatives.

So you would have preferred him to take it up the ass and be a little bitch when this manchild is yelling at him and even shoved him?
Sorry, that's not how the real world works.
